Patch applies to
commit 42a579a0f960081cd16fc945036e4780c3ad3202
When running "make ARCH=arm TAGS" in a chroot using qemu-arm-static,
the following message is emitted:
[user@host:/home/work/linux]: make ARCH=arm TAGS
GEN TAGS
/usr/bin/xargs: etags: Argument list too long
This can be fixed by by passing "-L 1024" to xargs in scripts/tags.sh.
The "1024" was a guess. A value of "3862" changes the message to
/usr/bin/xargs: argument list too long
Using "2048" also fixes the problem. However, I don't know how much
headroom that leaves
Does anyone know why the argument lists must be shorter for ARM? All
of the documentation I have available says that 4096 should be the
limit.
